'''Professor Kolorado''' is an adventure-loving, bold [[Koopa Troopa]] explorer and archaeologist in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. A former student of [[Professor Frankly]], Kolorado lives in [[Koopa Village]], but is rarely home, preferring to go out on quests for ancient artifacts, to the displeasure of [[Kolorado's wife|his wife]]. He is the idol of his neighbor [[Kooper]], who eventually becomes his assistant at the end of ''Paper Mario''. Kolorado is a parody of {{wp|Indiana Jones}}, as they are both named after an {{wp|Colorado|American state}} and they are both legendary archaeologists. Both wear similar outfits and go on quests for unique artifacts, and Kolorado is also chased by a [[Spiny Tromp]] similar to the boulder scene from the movie ''{{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}''. | '''Professor Kolorado''' is an adventure-loving, bold [[Koopa Troopa]] explorer and archaeologist in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.
